@emsenn as for the learning commitment, I don't have much to say. Maybe we have to design our applications in much simpler/similar ways than what users are used to. Maybe we ought to teach differently. Maybe it's just making key concepts familiar to everybody. https://uxplanet.org/how-a-non-intuitive-user-interface-can-create-a-great-user-experience-6fe6a7cddc3c

So, there's been more and more talk in tech circles I follow about going back to RSS.
Honestly, I never gave it up. I read a lot of webcomics, and RSS is the best way to keep up with them.
But yes, RSS is awesome, and there's plenty of non-Google Reader options for services and apps. I like Feedbin, but it's a paid service. The Old Reader is good and free.

After chatting about #zfs yesterday, I sort of felt the need to check whether anything has remained from various ambitious attempts to build an open-source community around Suns #opensolaris system back then just before they got acquired by Oracle. Seems at the very least #openindiana (https://www.openindiana.org/category/news/) is still kind of alive and working. Gotta check that out later today, still pretty much like the #solaris kernel ...

The truth is out there.
But online, it feels like it’s harder than ever to find. So where do we go from here? In the season finale of IRL, recorded live in San Francisco, we navigate the strange new world of social media misinformation. https://t.co/MFwwO5JeIQ

Just saw my #flickr pro account being renewed a couple of days ago... Reminded me of the fact that #flickr were the first of these photography networks that actually and explicitly supported #creativecommons licenses for your pictures...
